Heller Named Chairman on Senate Banking Subcommittee

(Washington, DC) - The United States Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee named U.S. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) Chairman of the Subcommittee on Securities, Insurance, and Investment:

"Serving as chairman of this subcommittee allows me to promote economic policies that will spur economic growth and job creation in Nevada. I will also have strong oversight on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to directly address housing concerns facing the state. As families in Nevada continue to recover from a weakened housing market, I will fight for housing finance reform to help bolster our state's residential and multifamily housing market. I look forward to beginning this new Congress as the Chairman of this impactful subcommittee," said U.S. Senator Dean Heller.

Senator Heller will also serve on the Senate Banking Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection Subcommittee and the Housing, Transportation, and Community Development Subcommittee.
